Transmission Fluid Cooler Flushing:

IMPORTANT: Transmission fluid cooler and lines flushing MUST be performed whenever a transmission is removed for service. It is essential to flush the cooler and lines prior to transmission installation or major overhaul, if fluid contamination is suspected, or in any case of pump or torque converter replacement. A cooler flushing tool, Kent-Moore number J 35944, has been sent to your dealership to properly flush the cooler. Time allowance to use the cooler flushing tool is 0.6 hours. This allowance is included in operation number K7000 (Transmission Removal and Replacement) for 1987-90 model year Labor Time Guides and can be added to Removal and Replacement allowances for the 1981 through 1986 model years.
